A wide recent price spread means each offer needs a clear logic.
If you are trying to decide what a reasonable offer looks like in Pacific, WA, I would build it around recent local closings instead of the seller's asking story. The last 3 months in Pacific, WA produced closed prices from $194,050 to $570,000, so disciplined comparisons matter.
That recent range is too wide to support casual guessing. Pacific, WA also had a typical price per square foot of $253 over the last 3 months, which gives me a better way to test whether a specific home is priced in line with what has actually closed. For a buyer, the implication is practical. A home can sit near the top of the recent local range and still make sense, but only if its size, condition, and overall package justify that position when compared with recent Pacific, WA closings. Pull the home's size into the conversation early. Compare the asking number to recent local price per square foot before you write. Do not let urgency replace reasoning, especially when the recent closed range is this broad.
